#260 – no more lies

I think it’s kind of dark and also familiar that (spoiler) Park NEVER got the real story on this – that Eve felt she didn’t owe it to him then, and down the line it wouldn’t mater at all. The truth goes a long way towards a tidy story, but does a thorough postmortem really matter in this case? I kind of felt like in dividing up their possessions, Eve got to keep a few little lies to herself, and never regretted it.

I really like your use of the "exact words" trope here – Eve can tell herself she hasn't told a lie "from here on out", even though Park would (hypocritically) feel she had lied by omission. That seems like a familiar bit of self-deception, something we tell ourselves isn't too bad.
